About
On your private half-day tour, you will start by exploring the three temples from the Acropolis complex, the Parthenon, the Erechtheum and the temple dedicated to Athena Parthenos (Athena the Virgin). Today, the Acropolis (meaning ''hill city'') is Athens’ crowning glory: a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most important cultural monuments as the celebrated birthplace of democracy.
You will also wander through the city’s historic centre, Plaka, where your guide will give you recommendations for finding the best real local fare and artisanal shops for you to return to during your trip.
After exploring Plaka, you will visit the Greek Agora, where you can see the Temple of Hephaestus, believed to be the best-preserved ancient Greek temple in the world. Your tour will end in the agora, where you can continue to explore at your own leisure.

- cubk20240 contributionsHistorical BlissStunning tour. Our guide was stellar and knew where to go, how to go and what time was best. This made the whole tour logistically painless and isntead focused on the sites! We felt like we got a full sense of Athens's historically. The Acropolis was of course a highlight, but the first Olympic stadium is not to be missed.Written August 23, 2024
- dankas13610 contributionsAthens is a great cityThe Plaka district of Athens is a really cool, busy place. There are tons of restaurants & bars plus lots of shopping opportunities. Everybody’s friendly! It’s also a great place to do people watching. The Changing of the Guard at the Parliament building is very interesting to watch. It’s done every hour, on the hour, 24 hours a day, rain or shine. The guards a very colorful in their uniforms, especially if you visit on a Sunday or holiday.Written May 20, 2022
- X8638DOlarissab0 contributionsKnowledgeable and experienced tour guide brought the Acropolis to life.I was overwhelmed with emotion when I got the first close view of the Acropolis. With 35 years of experience as a tour guide Dimitrios Pandreou has an impressive knowledge and suburb articulation of the history of this magnificent architectural and archaeological site.Written March 3, 2022
